(Luke 2:8-14)
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sing this heavenly song tonight
Glory be to God in the highest
Join the cloud of witnesses
Glory be to God in the highest
Sing this heavenly song tonight
Glory be to God in the highest
Angels we have heard on high
Glory be to God in the highest
See Him in a manger laid, whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid while our hearts in love relays
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo
